War planes targeted a number of residential areas in Raqqah city, killing 17 people, including five women and seven children, as well as injuring over 35 others.

The air strikes targeted:

– A residential building in al-Thaknah district, including the Ameen Nursery
– The area behind the al-Hani Mosque
– The area behind the Mansouri Mosque

This massacre comes at a time in which air strikes have significantly lessened due to the truce which was initiated on 27th February.
